Shi Jian 11-08, CZ-2C, JSLC - October 27, 2014
« on: 09/24/2014 05:52 pm »
this launch will be following the SJ 11-07 on Sept 29th. The payload is just a wild guess (http://bbs.9ifly.cn/forum.php?mod=redirect&goto=findpost&ptid=10822&pid=322747&fromuid=24484), no concrete information.

Some indications point to the launch of SJ-11 Shijian 11-08 from Jiuquan in October 2014.

With a turnaround period of 18 days, the launch can take place NET October 20.

You should really consider that people in the Chinese aerospace industry work 7days/week instead of 5days/week, then the next launch could take place as early as on October 16th.

Hmmm......we got official confirmation (in a SJ-11-07 post-launch article) that SJ-11-08 is in parallel processing for launch at Jiuquan right now. So that essentially confirms that this one will go up in mid-October.  ::)

The same article mentions that SJ-11-08 will be the last satellite of the series.  ::)

Actually they meant before October 24 (CE-5-T1 launch) - a clue was that people visiting the center on Oct. 12 reported that they were told not to point the camera towards that pad, which means the rocket should be there already. I think it should launch earlier than that - maybe closer to the 20th or even 18th.  ;)

Ah! The beauty of automatic translations... Thank you, GP, for the correction!!!

Earlier in this thread or maybe in the SJ 11-7 thread it was said that this would be the final launch in the series.   I wonder what will replace what seems to be an important group of satellites.

JIUQUAN, Gansu, Oct. 27 (Xinhua) -- China successfully launched an experimental satellite into preset orbit from Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center in its northwestern gobi desert on Monday.

The Shijian-11-08 was boosted by a Long March-2C carrier rocket at 2:59 p.m. Beijing Time.

The satellite, which was developed by China Spacesat Co. Ltd under the China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation, will be used to conduct scientific experiments in space.

This was the 197th flight of the Long March rocket series.
